Record Label
A sub label of Dutch East India Trading created in 1983. For copyright credits, please consider [[label:Homestead (4)]] when it is credited as such.\ Label Design (when not custom for a release): From mid-1987, new pressings featured a label with red background and the Homestead logo in yellow at the top. In the spring of 1987, some pressings featured a red label with black logo at the top, e.g. [[release:1256041]] In 1986-early 1987, many pressings featured a silver label with logo at the top, e.g. [[release:530931]]. Prior to that, most labels were pale blue or blue/green, and the logo was often smaller and not always at the top of the label and appeared in various colors. Pressing history: After July 1987, the vast majority were pressed at Rainbo and feature an S-##### code. Some are represses from Hauppauge, Hub-Servall, or Damont metalwork. From 1984 into 1986, most Homestead pressings were contracted to Mayking in the UK, often pressed at MPO, and housed in thin European style jackets. From late 1985 into 1986, Homestead used Hub-Servall (e.g. [[release:354384]] in November 1985) and then in 1986-7, Hauppauge (e.g.[[release:10513273]]).
